To start a program each time you start Windows
[[Right-click the Start button, and then click Properties.
On the Start Menu tab, click Classic Start menu, and then click Customize.
This changes the style of the Start menu.
Click Advanced.
In the Start Menu folder, find the shortcut to the program you want to start
each time you start Windows, and drag it to the Startup folder located in
the Programs folder.
Where?
Documents and Settings\User name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Hope this helps. Let us know.
